Let’s Create an Instrument through which Spirit can Blow
Two of my best friends died a few years back, they were my best friends because we told each other everything, we could be absolutely raw with one another... whatever was felt or thought was said, no mask. For 22 years we were really there for each other. When my second friend was dying, I was working at the hospital at night and taking him to chemo and his appointments during the day (they both fought to the very end) On one of the days I was taking him to his appt, I sensed it was one of the last times I would speak to him and I knew I had to ask him, "what do you have to say to me?" (I know about dying, I've been around it all my life... I know at that point you are most surely "closest to spirit" "are a channel to god" more so than ever and I wanted to know what he felt he needed to say) What he had to say I will never forget.... "Keep showing up Jules, just keep showing up." I thought I knew what he meant at the time, but years more down the road... I hope a little more wise and closer to spirit myself... I so very much understand. I not only understand, but I consciously try to make it a practice. It took me a while Greg.... but I am so thankful for your spirit "ringing in my ears." Thank you Greg! "Showing up... being present is often the greatest, most precious gift we can really bestow on anyone. To be in another beings company with our heart open, porous... to see and be seen, to know and be known, something gets born in the soil of our having come together that would not have been born had we not joined hands and hearts in the same moment, same place, at the same time. Just by being here we create an instrument through which spirit can blow... so we can see one another, know one another, listen to one another. It's about trusting the grace in people, the wisdom, the courage and all the kinds of capital that there are in the world besides money (courage, wisdom, enthusiasm, hope, joy) capital that needs to be liberated, generosity that doesn't need to be taught, it needs to be liberated somehow. People ache to be kind, people ache to give what they have, to offer their gift, to bring something for nourishment to the table, for the community for which they belong and they ache to take something in return... this precious river of giving and receiving... our call, we imagine, is to be a generous life. We feel under nourished because we can't give what we ache to give, not because we are not getting enough." I am creating a group called "Magnanimous (Generous in Spirit) Gatherings"
This gathering is for those who wish to see the gifts
(miracles, abundance, wonder, joy, magic...) of life...
We talk so much about things that aren't working or how we are "just okay"...
I want to hear about what is working in your life, where you see the
"magic & miracles happening"... synchronicity... “coincidences”
what you are attracting with your positive "new vibrations"...
"The more we see, the more we create...
& vice versa & so on & so forth....
May you see the wonder... the awe in life...
Your friend, Juli
